Dataset on the Perceived Racial Microaggression, Social Support, and Mental Health Among University Students Research

This study aimed to identify potentially vulnerable groups on Malaysian university campuses and examine differences in RMA exposure, psychological distress, and social support. Using a cross-sectional survey design, 160 Malaysian and international university students from the Klang Valley completed standardized questionnaires assessing these variables. The findings highlight the complex relationships between RMAs, mental health, and social support, and identify three groups that may be particularly vulnerable for different reasons, underscoring the need for targeted support initiatives on Malaysian university campuses.
